In recent years, the online gambling industry has flourished, and even the neighbor's grandma knows about Neihu's Gambling Street and Taichung's Gambling District Phase 7, where 80% of the office buildings are occupied by the online gambling industry! Moreover, job portals like 104 and 1111 are recruiting for roles such as marketing promoters, online game customer service representatives, card dealers, website engineers, and game software designers, which are well-known job vacancies in Taichung's gambling sector.
Under the seemingly glamorous exterior, is it really profitable? No need to listen to what PTT netizens say, PASA cuts straight to the pros and cons of online gambling jobs, which companies are in Taiwan, and whether being a gambling agent is lucrative nowadays.
Which companies are involved in gambling in Taiwan? Isn't the Science Park focused on electronics and semiconductors? Why is it associated with online gambling companies? The main reason is the severe outsourcing of Taiwanese technology industries, leaving office spaces gradually taken over by Taiwanese gambling game companies under the guise of design and text customer service.
In three years, Zhouzi Street, which used to be deserted after 7 PM with no dinner options, has become brightly lit at night. 80% of Neihu's gambling companies are involved in developing software for Mainland China's gambling platforms or sports betting, baccarat, and slot machine games, clearly positioning Taiwan as a gambling OEM center in Southeast Asia.
Another interesting phenomenon is that Taipei's gambling industry mainly focuses on developing games for Mainland China's gambling websites, while Taichung's gambling jobs are primarily about operating online gambling platforms. The mainstream has evolved from Taiwanese and Mainland versions to now include Vietnamese, Thai, and Indian versions, which is commendable for how internationalized Taichung locals have managed to make the gambling industry.
What are the job vacancies in Taiwan's gambling companies that everyone wants to know about? They are mainly divided into three categories:
1. Taichung Gambling Marketing Personnel: Game promotion, brand awareness, customer development and contact, with high performance pressure.
2. Taichung Gambling Customer Service: Customer responses, deposit and withdrawal services, fixed job content with no performance pressure, and a salary that increases with seniority.
3. Software Engineering: Maintenance of the game's official website backend, often requiring 24-hour shifts with colleagues, professional skills command a higher base salary, including software engineers, web designers, website graphic designers, etc.
However, online gambling is still a gray area in Taiwan, and participating in gambling work still carries the risk of being caught.
